The yearly occurrence and for those less fortunate, regular arrival of the cold. First you get the constant sneezing followed by an embracing red noise swiftly covered with concealer or powder, for the makeup wearers amongst us. This is often followed by an aching head similar to a too tight helmet. Then of course is the arrival of the cough that seems to outlive everything else, lasting in some cases several weeks.
To add inslute to injury the whole thing makes you feel terrible, unsocialable and miserbly. The last thing you want to do is search through and try every old wives tale there is, and often reach for whatever is in the cupboard left over from the last one. So failing all this just try honey and lemon in hot water and hide under a duvvet until your feeling yourself. Its also a good excuse to watch tv, eat some chocolate and have everone else look after you for once.
